Though blessed by God they soon rebelled-They chose the
foolish way to hell.
Now all have sinned and fallen short-We’re all found guilty
in God’s court.
Our sin has separated us-From all that's holy, right and just
The Lord in heaven created men-For joy eternal, life with Him
But we have chosen Satan’s path-Our sin deserves God’s holy
wrath
This is no fairy tale nor myth-We still rebel and shun God’s
gift
There are two paths to eternity-Judgment is sure, we need
mercy!
Oh Lord, we need Your wisdom-Oh God we need Your power
We need to be
forgiven-we need mercy every hour.
This is the terrifying news- We have lost all we can
lose
Our sinful lives have been condemned-The worth of glory God
will defend
His righteous character requires-That sin become fuel for
hell’s fires
Eternal wrath the Lord outpours-For evil will not be ignored
There are two paths to eternity-But we are blind and cannot
see
The darkness hides eternal
views-But there is wonderful good news
God has himself decreed a way-Salvation comes to us this day
The demands of justice are satisfied-No condemnation – for Christ
has died.
Bridge:
The wisdom of God has ordained a way -for the love of God our
souls to save
From the wrath of God-without compromise of the justice of
God- Our God is wise!
And so we preach Christ crucified-In God’s wise mercy Christ
has died
He bore our sin upon a tree; A substitute for you and me
He took our sins into that grave-And rose again mighty to
save!
Jesus arose as living proof-of the Gospel's power and truth
The Holy Spirit now resides-Christ and the Father will
abide
In obedient hearts God comes to dwell, and will destroy the works of
hell.
Forevermore before the throne, forevermore this is our home
This is Good News you can receive- this more sure word you can believe!
Oh praise God for His wisdom-Oh praise God for his power
The cross is our atonement-And mercy every hour.
